The faces of everyone in the cabinet were ugly, of course Zhu Houyu saw it, but in order not to destroy Zhengde's plan, Zhu Houyu did not inform the cabinet of Zhengde's whereabouts.

"Let Guangningwei and Gaizhouwei send people to track down the whereabouts of the army, and at the same time block the news that the army is missing."

The cabinet replied, "Yes." ”

Letting everyone in the cabinet retreat, Zhu Houxi suddenly felt a headache and said: "Zhang Banban, do you think the eldest brother can win?" ”

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and with the blessing of God, Your Majesty will definitely win a great victory in this battle." ”

Zhu Houxi nodded approvingly, he can be said to have cleaned up all his family for the safety of Zhengde, he didn't believe that Zhengde was so short-lived.

"Zhang Banban is right, it's this king who is worried."

Zhang Yong flattered: "Your Highness also cares about Your Majesty, so you will care about chaos." ”

"Let's go back to the palace."

After dealing with the affairs of the court, Zhu Houxi went home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhu Xiuli, who was like a lark, running towards him.

"Brother."

Zhu Houxi hugged Zhu Xiuli, who was only on his waist, and said, "Why don't you stay in the house well, why do you run out?" ”

Zhu Xiuli pouted and said aggrievedly: "My little sister wants to go out to play, but my mother won't let me, so I'm here to wait for my brother to come back." ”

Zhu Xiuli is a child's heart in the end, and she immediately said what she thought in her heart, and Zhu Houxi couldn't help but laugh out loud directly after listening to it.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiuli pulled Zhu Houxi's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Brother, you can take me out to play." ”

Zhu Houxi deliberately teased her: "It's okay to take you out, but it's ......"

When Zhu Xiuli heard that she could go out to play, her eyes were shining like stars in the sky, and she hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

Seeing that the little sister looked so cute, Zhu Houxi couldn't bear to tease her anymore, and said, "But you can't go out until you finish lunch." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Xiuli nodded in agreement, the smile on her little face made the cold winter wind warm a little.

Accompanied by Princess Xingxian after lunch, Zhu Houxi fulfilled his promise to take Zhu Xiuli out for a walk, and Jiang saw that he was accompanied by his own son, and it was not easy to stop him.

In order to make Zhu Xiuli have fun, Zhu Houxi deliberately changed into ordinary clothes before going out with him, and did not let the team accompany him, only Wang Zuo and Zhang Yong followed.

"Brother, look at it."

Zhu Xiuli pulled Zhu Houxi's sleeve and looked around in a bouncing manner, while eating the sugar gourd that Zhu Houxi had just bought for her.

Zhu Houxi looked in the direction that Zhu Xiuli said, someone was performing there, and the surrounding area was full of people eating melons.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, eight hundred miles urgently."

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came, and Zhu Houxi subconsciously took Zhu Xiuli into his arms, only to see a messenger riding a horse.

Originally, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who were still watching the bustle, immediately got out of the way, this is an eight-hundred-mile rush, even if they were hit and killed, they would die in vain, so of course they did not obstruct the messenger's path.

Zhu Houxi watched the messenger rush past in front of him, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he immediately said, "Let's go, go to the leopard room." ”

It must be a big deal to make the messenger expedite eight hundred miles, and it must be a big deal to send the news to the capital, Zhu Houxi is now the prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, although he wants to accompany his little sister, but he has to focus on state affairs.

Zhu Xiuli was sent back to the palace by Zhu Houxi, of course, she was a little reluctant, but she also knew that Zhu Houyu had something to deal with, so she obediently returned to the palace.

When Zhu Houxi arrived at the leopard room, everyone in the cabinet was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, spoke: "Your Highness, there is news from the 30,000 guards that Your Majesty has led a large army from them to leave. ”

30,000 Wei is in the north of Jianzhou Wei, since Zhengde's 50,000 army has reached 30,000 Wei, then it must mean that Zhengde does not want to encircle and suppress Jianzhou Wei, Zhu Houxi knew that Zhengde's plan may not be able to hide it, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty may want to scare and scare Jianzhou Wei, but you don't want to slaughter Jianzhou Wei." ”

Yang Tinghe and others obviously didn't believe Zhu Houxi's words, it was an army of 50,000, plus nearly 100,000 auxiliary troops, and the cost of a trip to this 100,000 army was incalculable, saying that Emperor Zhengde used 50,000 troops and spent huge military expenses just to go out and scare Jianzhou Wei, that is, to kill these old men, they didn't believe it.

"Your Highness and Your Majesty are you hiding something from me?"

Yang Tinghe asked this question well, so that Zhu Houyu didn't know how to answer, whether to deceive Yang Tinghe, or betray Zhengde, Zhu Houyu felt that he thought about it for a second longer, it was all disloyal to Zhengde.

Zhu Houxi smiled as naturally as he could, and said, "How can this king deceive you, you are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty." ”

It is said that people are old and refined, and this is not wrong at all on Yang Tinghe's body, he guessed about Zhu Houxi's appearance, and immediately scolded angrily: "You traitor, you dare to bewitch Your Majesty to modify the marching route." ”

Zhu Houxi felt that he was very wronged, Zhengde, as the commander of the army, he could go wherever he wanted, and he was not by his side, so he became himself bewitching Zhengde to modify the marching route.

"Elder Yang Ge, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, this king has been staying in the capital, why do you want to confuse the eldest brother to modify the marching route."

Seeing that Zhu Houyu was a dead duck with a hard mouth, Yang Tinghe no longer argued with him and left, and the rest of the cabinet also glanced at Zhu Houyu and kept up with Yang Tinghe's pace.

After these people left, Zhu Houxi smiled bitterly: "Big brother really wants to trap this king to death." ”

Zhang Yong, who knew the situation, said: "Your Highness don't worry, these are Your Majesty's resolutions. ”

"Yes, of course, these are the decisions of the eldest brother, but this pot has to be borne by this king."

Zhang Yong didn't know what Zhu Houxi was talking about, so he could only shut up and stop talking.

Zhu Houxi, who offended the cabinet thoroughly, returned to Xingwang's Mansion at night, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Qingyang Bo Xia Chen asking to see him.

In the main hall, Zhu Houxi saw that Xia Chen looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "Say whatever you want, don't behave like this in front of this king." ”

Xia Chen left his seat and hugged his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's trip is dangerous, Xia Chen wants to lead the troops there, and I hope His Highness will be successful." ”

"Uncle Qingyang doesn't have to be like this, everything is expected by His Majesty."

Zhu Houxi said casually, but in his heart there was a shocking wave, Zhengde did not attack Jianzhou Wei, today through the eight hundred miles of urgency, the cabinet reacted, he Qingyang Bo Xia Chen is just a relative, how to learn such a secret news, who leaked the news to Xia Chen.

Seeing that Zhu Houxi didn't allow it, Qingyang Bo Xiachen knew that even if he continued to consume it, it would be useless.

Then he said angrily: "Does Your Highness really want to be a traitor to the country? ”

Zhu Houxi saw that Xia Chen was stiff and not used to him, so he asked, "Do you know who you are talking to?" ”
